Hi Folks,
I am finally getting on top of my cold. The best medicine for my raging throat has proven to be gargling warm salty water. Thursday was a topsy day since our toil was directed to supporting the "Intentional Communities" seminar in Hobart in the evening. The bins were put out early and I washed the Pajero since I had passengers and it is not much fun getting covered in dirt when you brush up against the car.
I was observing the chickens before I left and the new found freedom of the chicks has its drawbacks since mum no longer protects them and they find themselves at the bottom of the pecking order and henpecked they are.
The seminar passed quickly and had a good roll out. Susan did a great job getting the food ready although there were a few hiccups on the way out of her control. By the time we packed up and drove home it was close to midnight hence the 2 days in one blog. I also have to produce cd's of the audio i recorded from the seminar on my great little Panasonic notetaker. Unfortunately the software is not great and has to run under windows XP so i have to resurrect one of the old clunkers here to get the audio off. Panasonic don't have any software to do it under windows 7!
Today Friday was glorious weather with rumours of 20 tomorrow. I spent the day doing maintenance on rooms as we make them presentable for the coming season. The first test is in 2 weeks time for the regional arts festival where we will be close to a full house. Today was exhaust fans, lights, stoves and bar radiators. It would have been a great day for bushwalking however that will have to wait until Sunday.
I went to the IGA today and bought a loaf of Lawsons bread to make sandwiches for lunch. I have hit the wall as far as using the abomination that is previously frozen bread!
I finished the day with a spa and another salt gargle. For some reason the TV reception went down the toilet this evening on both systems which tends to indicate it was something at the tower. Of course the worst affected channel was the live broadcast of the Geelong v Collingwood blockbuster. Anyway you get used to the power, television and internet being dodgey when you live in the country.
Spring is in the air and my thoughts are turning to travel rather than toil!
Night folks
Cheers Simon
